New Long Delivery Times for PETG from Amazon UK

The delivery times for PETG filament from Amazon UK stocks has just increased from next day delivery, to 6 day delivery. Is anyone else finding this problem?

Obviously PETG filament is not a priority product, like food and medical supplies, but it is essential for anyone printing the Face Shields.

Can I be very cheaky, and ask if there is there any chance someone a Prusa Research could point this out to their contacts at Amazon?

I have two printers, and have outstanding orders for PETG filament from Prusa and Amazon UK. I presently have enough PETG to last me until Thursday, with the 4 day Easter holiday coming up. I am printing 8 shields with cover each day. I have so far delivered 10 shields to my local hospital, with another 40 going out tomorrow.

At the start of the current miseries, Amazon Prime shipping times extended 3 weeks or more. I've found that revisiting orders and selecting the "change shipping" option, if available, may result in dropping a week or more off delivery time. 12 PETG spools of AmazonBasics changed from April 21 to April 14th.

Hi Bobstro,
I have always had no problems with SUNLU PLA+ and PETG which is on shorter delivery times at present in the UK, though the Amazon basics Translucent Blue I had in February was also trouble free.

Look after yourself.
